"Thank you, True Man, for helping me achieve enlightenment!"

True Man Tianjian did not dodge or evade, calmly accepting this bow.

The Black Robed Taoist spoke indifferently:

"It is your own achievement."

Everyone was even more amazed.

The Blade Demon achieved enlightenment, not only not diminishing True Man Tianjian's prestige, but elevating it further. After today, everyone in the world would marvel not only at True Man Tianjian's unparalleled prowess but also at his matchless magnanimity.

They knew, by now, this battle had truly come to an end.

The Blade Demon's act of bowing signified surrender.

Of course, they also didn't think that even after breaking the realm, the Blade Demon would be a match for True Man Tianjian. After all, from the current situation, it seemed True Man Tianjian had perhaps been at the Sword Path Ultimate Realm for a long time, showing a deeper foundation than the Blade Demon.

At this moment, the Blade Demon bowed again:

"I have another matter to request True Man's assistance with."

Ning Qi's eyes flashed, the Black Robed Taoist spoke calmly:

"Speak."

"With True Man's help, I've reached the Blade Path Ultimate Realm and am now poised to break through to the Martial Saint Realm. I request True Man to guard me!"

"Good."

The two exchanged words.

Everyone was dumbfounded, then burst into excitement.

No one expected such an event to unfold after the battle had concluded.

The Blade Demon was seeking to seize victory and enter the Martial Saint Realm!

No one could believe what they had heard. In the past two thousand years, besides the Great Yan Martial Saint, no other Martial Saints were born, and now, were they about to witness the birth of a Martial Saint?

Even the Sun Chasing Sword King and others couldn't help but feel their hearts race, staring in a daze.

The Martial Saint is the realm all Martial Artists aspire to reach.

The Blade Demon took a deep breath, then sat cross-legged in the void.

Choosing to break through now, firstly because this battle fully stimulated his potential. Although his Essence, Qi, and Spirit were not at their peak, the determination and resilience wouldn't find a better opportunity. Secondly, he likely understood the meaning of True Man Tianjian aiding his enlightenment, wanting to return the favor.

True Man Tianjian had been at the Ultimate Realm for so long, yet hadn't stepped into the Martial Saint Realm, possibly out of some concern, which the Blade Demon intended to reciprocate with his own breakthrough experience.

The Blade Demon never owed anyone in his life.

With a thought, he wielded his Blade Intent, slicing away all distracting thoughts from his heart.

Ning Qi watched intently, with unprecedented focus.

It could be said.

This was his closest encounter with the Martial Saint Realm.

Since the Blade Demon chose to break through, it was surely with due preparation.

Under his watchful gaze, the Blade Demon gradually closed his eyes, emitting an astonishing aura, and in an instant, a dense Power of Heaven and Earth converged, clearly sensed by many Celestial Human Realm experts.

Then.

The Blade Demon's body blossomed with vibrant vitality, a peculiar fragrance spread about, causing some to involuntarily swallow, then cover their mouths in shock.

"This signifies the pinnacle of human essence, cultivation of the Tao Fruit, culminating in the Flower of Essence Perfection."

Thoughts settled in Ning Qi's mind.

A peculiar Immortal Flower bloomed on the Blade Demon's body, layer upon layer, though invisible and formless, astonishingly perceptible to all present. As the Flower of Essence condensed, the previously surging Power of Heaven and Earth seemed to undergo some change.

The Blade Demon pressed forward resolutely.

The Gang Essence within surged with full force, while his Divine Intent exploded fervently.

In an instant.

Two more Immortal Flowers condensed.

Flower of Qi!

Divine Flower!

The Three Flowers Perfection, precisely that.

No one was surprised. Not just the Blade Demon; nearly all unparalleled experts on the Celestial Being List's top ten were masters of Three Flowers Perfection. At this moment, they watched most intently, fearing to miss any detail, as they too would eventually tread this path.

At this moment.

The Three Flowers condensed, the world turned tumultuous, and even though some lesser cultivators didn't know what was happening, instinctive fear had already made their bodies tremble.

The gaze of the unparalleled experts burned even hotter.

They saw.

The Three Flowers had already gathered at the top, starting some wonderful metamorphosis.

"The Three Flowers Gather at the Top, and then?" one unparalleled expert after another felt insatiable curiosity.

And the Blade Demon seemed to hear their cry.

A humming sound rang out as the domineering Demon Blade Intent surged skyward from his spine. Having just ascended the Blade Path Ultimate Realm, it was already in play, the method was one the Blade Demon had stumbled upon through lifelong dedication.

He conjured the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Demon Blades, which in some ways mirrored the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Flowers.

Now the Demon Blade Intent spanned the Three Flowers, and then commanded them.

Ning Qi felt a jolt of excitement.

As he observed the Blade Demon's breakthrough, he continually cross-referenced with the Dharma recorded on the silver pages left by Wu Jianghe in his mind, sparking continuous insight. He gained a completely new understanding of the Martial Saint Realm.

A wondrous transformation occurred in an instant; what had merely been vaguely connected—the Three Flowers of Essence, Qi, and Spirit—now seemed to form a unified whole. The Three Flowers Gathered at the Top, resembling a peculiar 'funnel,' a 'vortex.'

Then, that originally surging Power of Heaven and Earth appeared to find an outlet.

Through the 'Three-Flower Funnel,' it converged toward the Blade Demon's body!

Everyone was astonished.

This was completely different from the Celestial Human Realm's resonance with the Power of Heaven and Earth, it seemed to forge oneself as a furnace, refining the Power of Heaven and Earth!

The Power of Heaven and Earth fully poured into the Blade Demon's body, which began to tremble violently, his face flushed red, alternating between shades of green and white, his body expanded and then contracted repeatedly, causing everyone watching to sweat nervously.

But as time passed.

The Blade Demon's body gradually returned to tranquility, although there was still an incessant influx of the Power of Heaven and Earth.
